Directly under'tiie opening in the tank is a holder B, having trunnionslr inf'the present instance ada 'ted to-bearingsin the side walls of the tan The side b" of the holder is preferably "ertical, while theside' I) is inclined, as shown. clearly in Fig. 1. The bott-onr-b of the holder is preferably higher at the side 12 than at'the side 6 and there is a lip b on the upper edge of the side I) to engage the bottle when the holder is inverted. I

D is the bottle which is preferably made of metal although it may be made of any material if desired and this bottle is adapted tofit freely in the holder B and rest upon-the bottom, as indicated in Fig. 2. The bottom being higher at one side than the other throws the bottle towards the side I) and the edge of the bottle extend; under the lipped flange 6*. There is an' annular flange (1 extending around the upper edge of the bottle D and this flange Specification of Lett el's lfatent. if Application filed October 2a, 1907. Serial No. 398,738.

1s ofsueh a width that when the holder is inverted the bottle" will slide on the holder until the flange (Z entersti'ie space back of the flange of the lip; the lipj preyenting the bottle from falling out. of thefliolder. i y The space betwee'n'thelip b andthe o'ppo site side 6 of the holder'is of su-[licientwidth to allow for the free passage'of the bottle when it is to be inserted in the holder or removed therefrom. The bottle hasa tapered mouth d into which the rorka' can be inserted by turning the scre' wstem' a when the apparatus is inuse. I 1 preferably mount jarubber disko'n the bottom-b ofthe holder although'this i's not absolutely necessaq aiid in order to prevent E is applied to the bottleoriremoved from it I slot the holder at ff, as clearly shown in Fig. 4', and provide the bottle D 'withlugs d which enter the slots when'the bottle is inserted in the holder.'-- The slots aresom-e what "larger than the lugs and'there is 'suflicient' freedom for the bottle to'locate itself in the holder so that a portion of its edgewill always be under the lipped flange." p The bottle D CoL't'ainS acid or other 'suitable material which when dischargedinto the tank'A forms a gas and. in order to hanusing the same will not'come in contaetwith the acidfI provide a handled cap Ehaving a flange e on which are lugs Q2" adapted to engage the flange d on the neck oft-he bottle, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. I cessed at (1 so that when the handle is will be locked owing to the pressure of a spring i upon a plate I'which rests upon the end of the bottle ';and forms a closure for the aha cont-ems:- i I In' the present instance the plate I has a hollow stem 2' which extends into'the handle 6 of the cap E and there is a pin 71 fitting in a slot in this stem which limits the'movement of the cap. Thus it will be seen that the bottle can be readily carried'and placed in the holder with the lugs d within the slots and the handled cap E can be readily detached by giving it a half turn. The handle is then removed and the cap asecured to the tank cork a will enter the mouth of the bottle closing it so that acid will not splll while the chemical apparatus is going to a fire.

Iclaimt 'j 1. The-combination in a chemical fire extinguisher of an 0' en ended bottle holder having a lip, and a ottle for'said holder con-' structed to be engaged by the lip when the holder is inverts under conditions of use,

the opening in the holder being of a size suf-,

ficient to permit of the unobstructed removal of the bottle 'without interfering with the lip.

2. The combination in a chemical fire extinguisher, of a bottle holder capable of being inverted having a lip at one side and having an inclined bottom, a bottle ada ted to the 7 said bott e being 0 a diameter such as to perr "45 mit of its unobstructed removal through the opening in the holder, and the parts being so arranged that said bottle will be engaged and.

held b the lip when the holder is inverted.

4. he combination in a fire extinguisher, of-a pivoted holder having a lip at one side and slotted, a bottle having a flange arran ed to be engaged by the lip when the hol er is turned with the bottle, a lug on the A, as shown in dotted 'linesin 1,

bottle entering said slot in the holder so as to prevent the bottle turning in the holder.

' 5. The combination of a pivoted bottle holder having a lip at one side, a bottle having a flange arranged to be engaged bjr the lip when the bottle is turned with the holder, a slot on each side of the holder, a log on each side of the bottleadapted to rest in the slots, a cap' adapted to engage the'neck of the bottle and havin a s ring plate adapted to press against t e en of the bottle, 'the lugs preventing the bottle turning in the holder when the cap is applied.

6. The combination of a bottle fora fire extinguisher havin a neck, recessed flanges on the neck, a ban led cap ada ted to be attached to the holder having aflitn e, lugs on the flange engaging the flange of t to neclg of the bottle, and a spring actuated plate carried by "the cap and adapted to rest upon the end of the bottle and close it and to hold the.

lugs in osition in the recess of the flanges on the necli of the bottle. I a

. 7. The combination in a chemical fire exting'uisher, of a tank, a bottle holder mounted on trunnions within the tank, a handle for turning the holder, said holder being straight on one side and inclined on theother and having an inclined bottom, a flanged lip on the straight side of the holder projecting from the upper portion thereof, slots on each side of the older, a bottle adapted to freely pass into the holder and having a flange at its u geredge arranged to be engaged by tie anged lip of the holder when the two are in verted, lugs onthebottle entering the slots in the holder, said bottle having a flanged neck adapted to be engaged by a handled cap.

8. The combination in a chemical fire ex tin uisher of a bottle, a holder open at the en sufficiently to permit the passage of said bottle into it, with a rojection on one of the parts comprised by t 1e bottle and the holder placed to engage the other part in order to retain the bottle in the holder when the latter is inverted.

In testimony whereof,- I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I
